Re: chesapeake regional team stories wanted
Along the same lines as atomikitten: no one struggles with our team name (the Garrett Coalition), but the poor announcer at Pittsburgh had a terrible time with our sponsor's name: Beitzel Corporation. Bite-zuhl.
We're from Garrett County, MD. We are two rival high schools combined, the only two high schools in our rural county of 30,000 people.
Our female participation tripled in the last year.
Our drive team is entirely students. Drivers are a junior and a senior, human player and coach(me) are sophomores.
This is our second year recieving a NASA grant.
We were Regional Finalists at Pittsburgh this year, and we also won the Motorola Quality Award.
Our robot's name is Meshach. Pronounced Me-shack. The name comes from a local legend, a hunter and explorer who helped to found our county.
